Who Tatsuha and Ryuichi Where Outside/In a car What Talking When Evening after Conversation with Mika and before Tatsuha calls Maiko Rating PG Status Completed
Tatsuha: Tatsuha was walking home from a night out with the guys from work. He was a bit drunk and was walking a little funny. He was walking home with a friend and had his arm around him to keep himself steady. They were takling and laughing.
Ryuichi: Ryuichi was driving by and saw the back of a familiar head. Telling his driver to slow down a bit, he recognized Tatsuha walking with a friend...or in actually, being held up by the friend. Rolling down the window, he cried, "TATSUHA-KUN! Would you and your friend like a ride home?"
Tatsuha: Tatsuha looked over at the car and smirked when he saw Ryuichi. His friend just shook his head and let Tatsuha go when he told him to. He walked over to the car and leaned down. "He's almost home but I'd love a ride. I got a long walk ahead of me. They wouldn't let me drive home." He laughed.
Ryuichi: Leaning back a bit, Ryuichi wrinkled his nose cutely. "You smell bad," he said as he opened the door. Tell the driver the address and he'll take you home
Tatsuha: He waved bye to his friend and got in the car. "It's the smell of alcohol silly Ryu-chan." He told the driver his address then sat back and relaxed. "You wanna see my place? You'll be impressed." He smirked.
Ryuichi: Ryuichi pouted. "I knew that! " he sat back and put on his seatbelt, then said, "Put on your seatbelt, Tatsuha-kun. Better safe than sorry!" as he smiled at the younger man.
Tatsuha: "oh, right!" He put on his seatbelt and smiled over at Ryuichi. "You should really come see my place Ryu-chan, you'll be so proud of me! Oh and you gotta see my new car too, but it's back at the club, so don't worry about that.
Ryuichi: "maybe someday, Tatsuha-kun," the rock star said distantly as he sat forward once again. Still not looking at the raven-haired man, he asked the question that had been bothering him. "What happened to you becoming a monk? Did you finally get kicked out for being bad?"
Tatsuha: "I got kicked out once I started using drugs. I couldn't go back." He shrugged. "It's okay though because now I'm going to go to school to be a substance abuse counselour. I'll help people in a different way." He closed his eyes and turned his head away from Ryuichi.
Ryuichi: Ryuichi listened, his sapphire eyes going wide as he heard about his former lover becoming a substance abuse counscillor. "Really? That's great! You'll be helping people! That's so cool! I'm happy for you! Are you doing good in college? Which one are you going to?"
Tatsuha: "I dropped out of college for the time being. I didn't have enough money.'" He opened his eyes and looked over at him. "I'm going back next semester, hopefully with Sis's help. I asked Seguchi and he said he'd talk to her. If they can help with the tuition I can start up again."
Ryuichi: Tatsuha found that the vocalist's azure eyes were staring right into his as he turned to gaze at Ryuichi. The singer was silent for a moment, then a huge smile came upon his face. "I know you can do it, Tatsuha-kun. I believe in you. And I bet Tohma will help you. He doesn't want his young brother-in-law to not make it in this world. "
Tatsuha: "I know. I just hate asking for their help." He sighed but smiled. "Let's not talk about this, okay?"
Ryuichi: "Okay, Tatsuha!" Ryuichi said, falling into an old habit. "Kuma will be glad to see you! I'm glad to see you again! The other day was...weird. But we can be friends again, right?" he clapped at the thought.
Tatsuha: "Of course we can be silly!" He un did his seat belt and leaned over to him. "You were always my friend, Ryu-chan. I never stopped thinking about you..."
Ryuichi: Wide-eyed, Ryuichi said, "Really? But you left so...fast. I thought you were mad at me when you moved out. I didn't like it when you were on the drugs. It wasn't shiny...at all. it was...kinda dirty, but not in the fun way..." He blushed and put his head down. "I missed you Tatsuha. I really missed you lots." he admitted.
Tatsuha: "I left to keep you safe. I wasn't safe to be around baby. I'm so sorry I left you." He smirked a bit and kissed him on the cheek. "I missed you too Ryuichi, really missed you."
Ryuichi: The mossy-haired man blushed deep red when he was kissed. Keeping his head down, he whispered, "I know that too...but it still broke my heart," as tears fell onto his hands, which were folded in his lap.
Tatsuha: Tatsuha gently grabbed Ryuichi's chin and lifted his head up when he saw the tears. "I'm sorry I broke your heart. I never meant to my sweet Ryu-chan." He leaned in and pressed his lips to the older man's.
Ryuichi: Ryuichi gasped as his chin was lifted, but melted into the kiss, closing his eyes and leaning towards the handsom former monk. Raising his hands, he laced them around Tatsuha's neck and sighed as he depend the kiss, opening his mouth and touching Tatsuha's soft lips, asking for entrance.
Tatsuha: Tatsuha kissed him back for a few seconds before stopping suddenly and frowning. "I... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that!" What the hell am I doing!? I'm ruining everything! He thought to himself. He sat back and shook his head. "I can't do this Ryuichi, I'm sorry. I'm kind of seeing someone now and this would hurt them more than anything and I can't do that to her."
Ryuichi: Opening his eyes, Ryuichi sat back and nodded. "Okay, Tatsuha-kun," he said, once again using the formal to show that he understood.
Tatsuha: "Don't call me that. Call me Tatsuha. We are friends." He smiled a little at him. "Look, Ryuichi, I love you and always will but what we had back then... I don't think we can have again."
Ryuichi: Nodding silently, Ryuichi once again hung his head. "I understand, Tatsuha. We can be friends. If that's what you want. I don't want to hurt the person you're seeing. I thought...I was hoping..." he stopped talking and sighed.
Tatsuha: "I should just walk home..." He told the driver to stop the car so he could just get out. He needed the cold air, it was getting hot in the car and he was starting to feel cramped.
Ryuichi: Ryuichi nodded and watched as Tatsuha got out. "I still want to be friends, not matter what, Tatsuha!" he shouted as the car pulled away.
